Woebegone Wanderers


Well, you may have gathered that we went to the Leeds Festival yesterday; we did so in the always good company of the fine young men known as Wild Beasts and watched them play a storming lunchtime set to a sizeable crowd on the Festival Republic stage - epic tunes, excellent musicianship and debonair sense of style all on full display. Needless to say, in these fast-moving digital times, this review appeared online about 20 minutes after the boys came offstage...

They are playing Reading tomorrow, but don't fret if you haven't got a ticket; there are further opportunities to see them supporting Foals at the end of next month, so get on it.

To give you a flavour of the chaps' live show, here's some ghetto bootleg cam footage of their next single, the already-classic 'Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants' from last weekend's Green Man Festival. Enjoy...
